Can we participate?

[nottellin']

Hi all! My DH and I are wondering if we can participate in Gay Day even though we are not gay? I am asking because we have a cousin we would like to attend and we want to go with him to show our support (which sadly he doesn't have a lot of). I know it's an odd question but he doesn't know the answer and I knew you guys would!

[Lukas87]

Absolutely! Friends, family, and supporters are always welcome!

Your cousin is very lucky to have you guys.

[PHILCT]

Definitely, we have seen many straight supporters over the years for Gay Days as well as Gay Pride Parades. You will have a great time!

[nottellin']

:cool1:
Woohoo! Thanks guys! He will be so relieved! I hope to see some of you there :thumbsup2

[HoopyMan]

Depending on what events you all are participating in, walking around the parks, you will be comfortable, but if he gets real "in the spirit" and decides to attend some of the parties, etc. You guys might want to step back and let him spread his wings.

I've been invited to attend Gay Days next year with my very best friend. He is a gay male and I am a straight female. I'm honored that he has invited me. I hope to go with him and my teenage daughter. She wants to go to celebrate her high school graduation.

I think Walt said it best.....


“To all who come to this happy place; Welcome!!

Disneyland is your land!”

[ConcKahuna]

Turkeygurl and Jaxpiper are a straight couple who we always drag out to Gaydays with their gay brother!

[DVC~OKW~96]

Attending the park on the first Saturday (MK) is something anyone can do. Support is shown by being there with your family. You can choose to wear "the color" or not, as you please. You can choose to have a t-shirt with a slogan/statement or not, as you please.

The one thing you will do is have the absolute most fun you've ever had at Disney. It's one of those things...you really do need to experience it to see it. Happiness, joy and unadulterated fun all over the place! :teeth:

It's not an exclusionary event...exclusive maybe :teeth: but not excluding...

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

DH, DS13 and I are booked for early June next year in hopes of attending Gay Days. :)

[mikelan6]

The more, the merrier.

[rpmdfw]

Not only are you welcome to participate in Gay Days at WDW, but you're also welcome to participate here on the GLBT forums at the DIS!

We love having our "Cool Straight People" friends joining us here!

So welcome! Stick around and join the crazy conversations! :thumbsup2

:scratchin

Shouldn't that be "The more, the MARYer?"

Absolutely not..they check your gay card at the gate.

sorry...

YES!! It is actually one of the best times to be at WDW, especially MK on Saturday :thumbsup2

and I wouldn't say we are actually "dragged" to gay days :rolleyes1 :lmao:

[turkygurl]

Turkeygurl and Jaxpiper are a straight couple who we always drag out to Gaydays with their gay brother!

:rotfl2::rotfl::rotfl2::rotfl:

HA! It's more like Turkygurl and Jaxpiper drag their gay brother to Gaydays! It's a blast! Just bring your red shirts. ;)

Dammit! He beat me to it. :(

[mikelan6]

I didn't want to be cited by the spelling and grammar police. :teacher:

[nottellin']

So now I guess we're off to buy some Red tee-shirts! He will be so relieved we're coming!

[OrlandoMike]

You may want to check out Cafe Press for some really cool T-shirts! They have some hysterical stuff!

This is what I got by just typing in "Gay Friendly". And I have to agree with others, it is one of the best days to be at the MK! The atmosphere is unbelievable! Cast members beg to work that day!

What kind of parties, etc. are there? My friend claims that these parties are for the "young and beautiful" people and he never attends them. He is an "average" 50 year old guy. He is shy and I would love to help him meet someone but don't want to get involved in a "gay frat party" environment where neither of us would be comfortable. Is there any party or event that anyone would recommend?

Please forgive me if I have used any politically or socially incorrect or unacceptable terms.

And they will too.
They'll B- slap you into next week
for the smallest infraction!

I have been known to issue a warning first. I mean, I have been known to politely point out grammatical errors. :rolleyes1

While some of the parties are more the S&M style (as in "Stand and Model"), there is something for everyone at that time of year :thumbsup2

Your crazy conversations on this board always make me smile (and laugh) and brightens my day every time I lurk on this board. It feels like one big happy, sarcastic family!

Can I just say - I was adopted!

[rosiep]

No you're not! You look EXACTLY like my monkey!

This is some kind of herrassment.

[mthrash]

Since I'm new here I have some questions:

How do you sign up for the Grammar Spelling Police? Is there a uniform? Swearing in Ceremony? Please let there be a sparkly- I mean shiny- badge!

Also - how do I get one of these "Gay Cards"? God forbid (no pun) I should find myself in a situation where it were needed. Are they available online? Cause I like to buy stuff online. Discreetly. Will I receive an ACTUAL Gay Card or just a voucher? And will it expire? Or is this more of a "One Fee For Life" kinda thing?

I think I was initiated into another club over on that other thread...

I just want to make sure I take advantage of ALL the opportunities available. If you know what I mean.

[rosiep]

They'll give you a card and promise you a toaster....but that's just a marketing ploy.....no one ever gets theirs. :headache:

Leave my heiney out of this!

Nelson and I had NO idea when we started the adoption process that we would end up with Wally! :sad2:

Rosie- never underestimate the dirty look - along with great power comes great responsibility.

In what is probably a futile attempt to un-hijack this thread...

We generally bring the party with us. We had our own party at MK (which is totally acceptable for an "average" 50 yr old guy, fun times at Atlantic Dance Hall (where you are free to dance, drink, and/or stand and model as you see fit). Then we had a FUN time at Epcot, which will be bigger and better next year, WITH FUN SHIRTS! Between us DIS'ers, you should be taken care of, no matter what kind of party you're looking for.:thumbsup2
